Cover Your Bases, From Sneakers to Heels, and
Make Sure You Have These 10 Types of Shoes

• No matter how much we want to, unfortunately, a
  majority of us will never be able to have a
  Carrie Bradshaw closet filled to the brim solely
  with shoes. With designer labels increasing in
  price and wages and salaries seemingly
  decreasing, it's hard to even keep up with the
  latest trends from one season to the next. If you
  want a classic shoe wardrobe that will withstand
  the tests of time, then make sure that you have
  the following 10 types of must-have shoes in your
  closet!

The "Little Black Dress" of Shoes

• The first shoe of the top 10 necessary shoes for
  your closet would be the infamous black pump. The
  black pump is a versatile shoe that can be worn
  both in the office and around the town. Like the
  "little black dress," the black pump is seen as a
  necessity for any woman's closet. For a trendy
  and yet classic pump, try Kate Spade's Licorice
  black suede pump. The softly pointed toe of this
  women's shoe offers a touch of femininity to a
  timeless shoe style.

Stay Low and Neutral to Defray Costs

• The second must-have shoe to add to your
  collection is a neutral-colored shoe featuring a
  low heel. The best neutral colors would be tan or
  taupe, but beige and brown work just as well. The
  reason for this shoe is to match any outfit that
  cannot be paired with your classic black pump. A
  great example is Mia's Bistro pump. This pump is
  available in brown, and is simple and chic, made
  of suede and with a patent and suede buckle and
  strap. This shoe has just enough detail to be
  attractive but not overzealous, and can therefore
  complement numerous outfits.

The Shoe to Take You Around the Town

• The next women's shoe to be added to your
  collection should be an open-toe or peep-toe shoe
  with a taller heel than the first two pumps and
  with a bit of a sexy side. This shoe will carry
  you out on the town for a night out with the
  girls or to a high-class restaurant for a date
  with Mr. Right. A great option is Jessica
  Simpson's Astor. This must-have women's shoe
  offers a flirty peep-toe, a sexy slingback, and a
  staggering 4.5 inch heel.

Dodge Ugly Weather With the Tall Boot

• Though in some southern climates, a tall boot
  might not be the biggest asset to a closet, women
  up North find these boots to be a lifesaver!
  Keeping in mind the weather when purchasing your
  next must-have women's shoe, if you live in a
  rainier climate, it might be a better idea to get
  a boot without a heel! Buy your knee-high boot in
  a neutral black or brown, so as to match with
  more of your outfits. A good option is the BCBG
  silk boot, which features leather and a 2.5 inch
  heel. Boots like these can add some personal
  flair to your everyday wardrobe of jeans and a
  casual shirt.

7
Be Fashion-Forward With a Bootie

• Ever since Spring 2010, women's ankle-high
  booties have increased exponentially in trendy
  popularity. The fifth shoe on our list of the
  twelve best women's shoes is a bootie or an ankle
  boot that fits your unique personality. Many chic
  styles are available in booties, from toed and
  closed-toed to three-inch heels or no heels at
  all! One gorgeous ankle boot is the N.Y.L.A.
  Lizzette ankle boot, which is available in either
  black or white. These breathtaking boots feature
  soft leather and a delicate, scrunched look, as
  well as an open-toe!

Be Athletic, B-E Athletic!

• Although having fashionable feet is important, it
  is also important to keep the rest of your body
  in shape. That's why, when buying your 10
  must-have women's shoes, you should remember to
  purchase a pair of trusty athletic sneakers to
  help keep you as well as your wardrobe fit!
  Popular brands include Nike, PUMA, New Balance,
  and Adidas. In sneakers, it is important to look
  for cushioning and support, as well as any
  specifications required by a particular sport
  that you might play.

Celebrate Summer with a Simple Sandal

• If you love being outside in warm weather, your
  feet will definitely thank you for your next shoe
  purchase of a flat sandal. Open and airy, flat
  sandals will allow your feet to breathe and relax
  after a hard day at the office bunched into a
  pair of pumps. If you enjoy being around the
  water, go for a plastic or waterproof material
  for your sandals. Other than that, there aren't
  any restrictions on the sandal that fits you
  personally. One cute choice is Restricted's
  Justice thong, which features a cluster of brown
  beads down the center that adds a hint of
  sophistication to the casual sandal.

Strappy and Elegant a Step Up from Simple

• Shoe number eight should be elegant and
  whimsical the perfect shoe for an evening out or
  a formal affair. This shoe should decorate your
  foot rather than take it over. Again, the evening
  shoe that you pick will depend on what kinds of
  formal affairs you expect to go to and also on
  your personal style, but one great example is
  Charles David's Anise heel. This must-have
  women's shoe features metallic gold leather with
  a snakeskin print with an alluring t-strap
  featured on the outside of each shoe. This dressy
  shoe is breathtakingly fabulous!

11
The Versatile Flat

• Out of your ten must-have shoes, it is definitely
  necessary to pick up either a ballet flat or a
  skimmer. Ballet flats provide simple elegance for
  casual, everyday wear. Whether running errands or
  walking the dog, a pair of simple flats will give
  you both comfort and class in whatever daily
  chore you choose to do. One example is the Dea
  flat by Diba, which offers a flirty peep-toe
  combined a classic tan-and-brown shoe and
  accented with a modern buckle at the vamp.

12
Flaunt Your Femininity

• It's easy to flaunt your femininity now with a
  pair of necessary wedges. As the tenth shoe
  necessary on your top 10 must-have women's shoes,
  wedges are a simple way to have both height and
  comfort thanks to a shoe. Wedges are casual yet
  classy, and come in numerous styles and heights.
  Guess's Macoya wedge features brown t-straps with
  flirty cutouts as well as bronze studs and a 4.5
  inch wedge. Easily paired with a pair of jeans or
  a flowing skirt, this espadrille wedge is a
  daytime shoe that allows you to show off your
